apologies, i can't answer the OP specific question but i do have a pair of MA 9S2, running B&W 800D. Sweet..contrary to what some have said, the Marantz are plenty tight on the low end, very nice definition, no fatigue at all, they seem to manhandle the 800D no problem. The top end is a little recessed..am thinking of trying to remedy that with some different cables. Anyway, i would guess the PM11s3 would sound similar, as long as you're not driving power hungry speakers with a difficult load to loud volumes. Not sure what the PM11s3 goes for, but you should be able to get a pair of the MA9S2 for well below 8k now.
